Dallas reportedly wants no part of its first round pick, and that is understandable. The Mavericks haven't had a lottery pick since 2000, and have drafted higher than No. 26 only once (Byron Mullens, No. 24, in 2009) during that span.

While draft day is a big deal for most teams, it isn't as much for Dallas, which has built its team through trades and free agency -- not the draft -- since it acquired Dirk Nowitzki on draft day 15 years ago. The latest rumors have the Mavs shopping veteran Shawn Marion.

Sam Amico of Fox Sports Ohio reports that sources indicate Dallas recently offered Marion in a deal to Cleveland, but was turned down. The deal, per Amico, would have sent Mavs pick (No. 13) 13th pick and Marion to the Cavs for the Cleveland's two second-round selections (Nos. 31 and 33) and a 2014 pick.

Marion enters the final year of his current deal in 2013-14 and is owed $9.31 million. What other team might be interested in pulling off such a trade with the Mavs, bringing in Marion and the No. 13 pick in return for future picks? Perhaps Detroit. The young nucleus would get the benefit of a positive veteran presence in Marion to fill in at the 3, and could use their No. 7 and the acquired No. 13 picks to bolster the backcourt with a point guard (Michael Carter-Williams, Shane Larkin, C.J. McCollum or Dennis Shroeder) and a scoring wing (Shabazz Muhammad, Tim Hardaway Jr., Kentavious Caldwell Pope, Glen Rice Jr.). The Mavs would shed Marion's contract with the hope of also landing a decent pick down the road.

any team that would actually give up a 2014 pick to get back into this draft should be liquidated
